Information systems

a person's focused, alert, and exploratory engagement with one particular information technology while using it, rather than habit.

A person's focused, alert, and exploratory way of engaging with one particular information technology while using it: the mindful user attends to the tool in the moment, stays open to new features and uses, and adapts rather than running on habit. Thatcher, Wright, Sun, Zagenczyk, and Klein's 2018 Mindfulness in Information Technology Use defined it as a state directed at a specific system and built a measure of it, deliberately setting it apart from the general trait studied in psychology. The referent is a user's engagement with a given piece of software, tied to that technology, and it is not a present-moment mental trait, an organization's alertness to failure, or an ancient contemplative practice.[1]

Unit
One user's alert engagement with a specific technology
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Assessed by the IT mindfulness self-report scale, covering alertness to novelty, openness, engagement, and orientation to the present with that system
